Business of God

OMG - Oh My God! takes a dig at a lot of current religious practices of the Hindus and raises some pertinent questions around monetization of religions with passing references to some existing 'God-men' of the country.

The movie, mostly a courtroom drama, is filled with witty one-liners with Kanjibhai finally winning the case not only for him but also for scores of others who have been refused insurance claims on the grounds of "act of God."

Interestingly, in South India - Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu - the movie locked horns with the Nagarjuna-starrer Shirdi Sai, a Telugu movie based on the life of Shirdi Sai Baba - who also gets a mention in OMG! in one of the scenes.

All in all, OMG is superbly entertaining mainly due to its simplicity and the lead actor Paresh Rawal, who manages to pull the movie on his shoulders through some of the "preachy" courtroom outpours. I am sure you'll enjoy this modern 'divine comedy.'
